Not my words. Check out the WP opinion page today (Sunday).
An inexperienced leader, facing a serious global threat, grows increasingly arrogant, spurns lawmakers, grabs unprecedented power, bullies skeptics, stifles the press, and decides to spurn advice of seasoned hands and go it alone. Sound familiar? Lynne Olson, author of a new book about the British Parliament replacing Neville Chamberlain with Winston Churchill in 1940, has a fascinating piece in the Washington Post today comparing our current president with the wartime British prime minister. Bush may claim the Churchillian legacy as his own — he reportedly keeps a "stern-looking bust of Churchill in the Oval Office — but Olson makes the case that he has far more in common with Churchill’s predecessor. Inexperienced: "Like Bush and unlike Churchill, Chamberlain came to office with almost no understanding of foreign affairs or experience in dealing with international leaders. Arrogance: "Nonetheless, he was convinced that he alone could bring Hitler and Benito Mussolini to heel. He surrounded himself with like-minded advisers and refused to heed anyone who told him otherwise. Power grab: "Like Bush, Chamberlain also laid claim to unprecedented executive authority, evading the checks and balances that are supposed to constrain the office of prime minister. He scorned dissenting views, both inside and outside government... . Like Bush, Chamberlain also laid claim to unprecedented executive authority, evading the checks and balances that are supposed to constrain the office of prime minister. Go it alone: "In the months leading up to World War II, Chamberlain and his men saw little need to build up a strong coalition of European allies with which to confront Nazi Germany — ignoring appeals from Churchill and others to fashion a Grand Alliance’ of nations to thwart the threat that Hitler posed to the continent. Unlike Bush and Chamberlain, Churchill was never in favor of his country going it alone. Public dissent: "Churchill almost certainly would look askance at the Bush administration’s years-long campaign to shut down public debate over the "war on terror and the conflict in Iraq — tactics markedly similar to Chamberlain’s attempts to quiet his opponents. Civil liberties: "Just as Bush has done, Chamberlain authorized the wiretapping of citizens without court authorization; Churchill was among those whose phones were tapped by the prime minister’s subordinates... . Churchill, by contrast, believed firmly in the sanctity of individual liberties and the need to protect them from government encroachment. |
